I am writing this particular blog for those who are planning to start their own blog. I started blogging as I was passionate about writing since my childhood. The objective to start blogging is to gain and share knowledge. Writing is a kind of stress buster for me. Being an extrovert, I like to talk to people around me. It makes me feel good and it is kind of refreshing for me. But due to this pandemic situation, we hardly interact with others face to face. I was kind of frustrated and I chose to blog as a medium to express my thoughts and refresh my mind. It turned out to be profitable for me. This could be the best alternative for someone who want to try something new without any investment. Of course, we need to invest our time and effort. Be your own boss.

Blogging is not a copy-paste thing. Start writing only if you are passionate about it. Keep it original as much as possible. There are different ways to create blogs. We can use blogger, WordPress or custom website.

Here are the steps to start blogging using blogger:

1) Create a blogger using Gmail account ID as shown in the below screenshot:

2) Once you click on the blogger, it will ask us to enter the blog name and maintain the profile.

6) Enter URL of the post in google search console:

7) Once you perform the search for the URL, it will say that "URL is not on Google". Click on "Request Indexing" button to make it appear in the google search:

8) It will take few hours to see your URL as a search result in google search.

9) Create a SEO profile to make sure that the blog is upto the mark to be indexed on the top of the google search page for the keyword that the user is looking for.

10) Create a Adsense account if you are willing to get some monetary benefits. Goto Earnings tab in the blogger and create adsense account.

Click on "Stats" button if you want to view the statistics of the views that you are getting for the post.

The casts of what are believed to have been a rich man and his male slave fleeing the volcanic eruption of Vesuvius nearly 2,000 years ago, are seen in what was an elegant villa on the outskirts of the ancient Roman city of Pompeii destroyed by the eruption in 79 A.D., where they were discovered during recents excavations, Pompeii archaeological park officials said Saturday, Nov. 21, 2020.

ROME (AP) — A fast-food eatery at Pompeii has been excavated, helping to reveal dishes that were popular for the citizens of the ancient Roman city who were partial to eating out.

Pompeii Archaeological Park’s longtime chief, Massimo Osanna said Saturday that while some 80 such fast-foods have been found at Pompeii, it is the first time such a hot-food-drink eatery — known as a thermopolium — was completely unearthed.

A segment of the fast-food counter was partially dug up in 2019 during work to shore up Pompeii's oft-crumbling ruins. Since then, archaeologists kept digging, revealing a multi-sided-counter, with typical wide holes inserted into its top. The countertop held deep vessels for hot foods, not unlike soup containers nestled into modern-day salad bars.

Plant and animal specialists are still analyzing remains from the site, with its counter frescoed with a figure of an undersea nymph astride a horse. Images of two upside-down mallards and a rooster, whose plumage was painted with the typical vivid color known as Pompeiian red, also brightened the eatery and likely served to advertise the menu.

Another fresco depicted a dog on a leash, perhaps not unlike modern reminders to leash pets. Vulgar graffiti were inscribed on the painting's frame.

Valeria Amoretti, a Pompeii staff anthropologist, said “initial analyses confirm how the painted images represent, at least in part, the foods and beverages effectively sold inside.” Her statement noted that duck bone fragment was found in one of the containers, along with remains from goats, pigs, fish and snails. At the bottom of a wine container were traces of ground fava beans, which in ancient times were added to wine for flavor and to lighten its color, Amoretti said.

"We know what they were eating that day,” said Osanna, referring to the day of Pompeii’s destruction in 79 A.D. The food remains indicated “what’s popular with the common folk,” Osanna told Rai state TV, noting that street-food places weren’t frequented by the Roman elite.

One surprise find was the complete skeleton of a dog. The discovery intrigued the excavators, since it wasn't a “large, muscular dog like that painted on the counter but of an extremely small example" of an adult dog, whose height at shoulder level was 20-to-25 centimeters (8-to-10 inches), Amoretti said. It's rather rare, Amoretti said, to find remains from ancient times of such small dogs, discoveries that "attest to selective breeding in the Roman epoch to obtain this result.”

Also unearthed were a bronze ladle, nine amphorae, which were popular food containers in Roman times, a couple of flasks and a ceramic oil container.

Successful restaurateurs know that a good location can be crucial, and the operator of this ancient fast-food seemed to have found a good spot. Osanna noted that right outside the eatery was a small square with a fountain, with another thermopolium in the vicinity.

Pompeii was destroyed by the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius, which is near present-day Naples. Much of the ancient city still lies unexcavated. The site is one of Italy's most popular tourist attractions.

Human remains were also discovered in the excavation of the eatery.

Those bones were apparently disturbed in the 17th century during clandestine excavations by thieves looking for valuables, Pompeii authorities said. Some of the bones belonged to a man, who, when the Vesuvius volcano erupted, appeared to have been lying on a bed or a cot, since nails and pieces of wood were found under his body, authorities said. Other human remains were found inside one of the counter's vessels, possibly placed there by those excavators centuries ago.

10 Things Needed After Blog Post Publication On Blog

10 Things You Need to Do After You Publish Your Blog Post • Smart Blogger

By Iamshalomshalom

Can I ask you a question?

What do you do after you hit the “Publish” button?

If you started a blog and it isn’t getting any traction, you probably aren’t doing the right things.

Let’s be real. You can’t just post to social media a few times and move on to the next post. That’s not going to cut it.

You can’t spend all your time writing new posts and then neglect those posts once they’re published.

In fact, you should spend only 20% of your time writing, and 80% getting people to read what you wrote.

But how, you ask?

This post will tell you 10 things you need to do after publishing your post.

It contains an after-publish task list you can use to take your blog from barren wasteland to popular tourist attraction. Follow these recommendations, and you’ll stand to 10X your results from every blog post you publish!

Ready?

Great, then let’s start.

Blog Checklist: After You Click Publish, Do These 10 Things

Jumpstart Traffic with a Teaser EmailDeploy a Never-Ending Social Media CampaignPersuade Influencers to Spread the WordGo Hunting for Juicy BacklinksPerform a 10-Minute Internal Link AuditAnswer the Burning Questions on QuoraRepurpose Your PostTurn Your Post into a Facebook AdDig Deep Into the DataRemind Yourself to Refresh Regularly

1. Jumpstart Traffic with a Teaser Email

Your first order of business is to get some immediate traffic to the blog post. The most obvious way to do that is by promoting the post to your own email list.

Now, many people like to include the entire blog post in their emails, but you shouldn’t do that.

Why?

Because that doesn’t get you any traffic! When your subscribers get your full post in their inbox, they don’t need to visit your blog to get the content. Plus, it also makes them less likely to share, comment or read other posts on your blog.

Instead, use a brief “teaser email” that entices your subscribers to click through to your blog and share the post with their friends. This gets the ball rolling so that even people outside of your email list can find your post.

Here’s an example:

Without giving away too much, I linked to the blog post using power words in an enticing call-to-action. I’ve also included a P.S. that invites subscribers to share on social media, including an easy link to share the post on Twitter.

Bonus tip: I used ClickToTweet to create the link.

2. Deploy a Never-Ending Social Media Campaign

Average bloggers only share their posts on Twitter, Facebook, Growth Hackers, etc. once. Smart bloggers create “evergreen” social media campaigns.

An evergreen campaign is a series of social media updates that constantly recycle themselves. So instead of just sharing your post a few times and calling it a day, your post gets promoted over and over again, on autopilot.

You can set this up by using a tool called MeetEdgar. This tool allows you to create a library of social media updates and a queue that automatically fills itself using the updates in your library.

Here are some ideas for social media updates to add to your evergreen campaign:

Share the headline, or a variation of the headline for your postShare a quote or excerpt from your postShare an infographic or image from your postTag an influencer who you featured in the post

If you can’t afford the $49/month for MeetEdgar, then MissingLettr is a similar product (albeit with more limited features) for $27/month.

3. Persuade Influencers to Spread the Word

Reaching out to influencers is a great activity to focus on after publishing. One influencer sharing your post on social media can make the difference between a couple views versus several hundred, or even thousands!

So how do you find these influencers?

One way to find them is by using BuzzSumo. Just go to the Influencers tab, and search for the topic of your blog post. It will show you a list of the top influencers who share content related to that topic.

To see if they are a good influencer to approach, click on the “View Links Shared” button to the right of their name and description. This will show you a list of recent links they shared. Look at the URLs of the links to see whether they commonly share other people’s content.

I should note that Buzzsumo does cost $99/month. If you’re not already using it and that’s not something you can afford, use their 14-day free trial to search for several niche-related keywords and find as many influencers as you can. (Categorize them by topic so you know for which posts you should reach out to them.)

When your trial runs out, you can google your topic and find high-ranking blogs. Then, find the people behind them on social media and check whether they are good influencers to approach. It may take more time to find good influencers, but it gets the job done.

Once you’ve collected a solid list of influencers, let them know that you have a blog post that they might be interested to share with their audience on their blogging platforms. (You can either reach out to them via social media, or send them a cold email.)

To learn how to actually persuade influencers to share your post, check out Brian Dean’s guide on how to get influencers to promote your content for free.

4. Go Hunting for Juicy Backlinks

If you want to get as many eyeballs on your content as you can, you have to help it rise in Google’s ranks.

But you have to provide some hard evidence to show Google your post is worthy of their elusive page one — specifically, you’ll need to get backlinks from high-quality sources in your niche. This shows search engines that your post is also high-quality by association.

To find other blog owners who might want to link to you, do a series of Google searches on your topic. You are especially looking for list posts and resource posts that have lots of links to other blog posts like yours.

To find examples on your topic, Google phrases like:

“[your topic] tips”“[your topic] ways”“[your topic] resources”“[your topic] links”

Make a list of blogs that you want to reach out to and then find the contact info of the people in charge. Send them an email explaining that you enjoyed reading their post and that you wrote one on a related topic. Tell them you’d love to know what they think. Then, if you get a positive response, ask whether they’d consider adding the line to their post, if they think their audience would be interested.

Not everyone will say yes, but you should shoot for a 10% success rate or higher (i.e. you should get one backlink for every ten bloggers you ask.)

5. Perform a 10-Minute Internal Link Audit

Speaking of links, that’s something you should take care off on your own blog as well.

Interlinking your blog posts with each other makes them easier for Google to index, helps you rank in search engines, and it keeps readers browsing your blog!

So set 10 minutes aside to do an internal link audit. Take a look at other posts you’ve written and see if you can add any links to them that point to your newly published post.

Make a game of it, and see how many internal links you can add in just 10 minutes!

Just search for your topic, and see what questions come up.

Then, compose a thoughtful answer (like this one by Ryan Robinson), and link to your related blog post.

The key with Quora is to make your answers as helpful and informative as possible. Don’t just drop your link and run … it won’t work.

Quora uses a voting process to display the best answers at the top. Make sure that you are providing value first, and that your answer is worthy of being featured as the top answer!

7. Repurpose Your Post

Don’t forget that content can take on many different forms other than written blog posts. Repurposing your posts by leveraging different types of content is a very smart (and efficient) way to attract new audiences!

For example, you could record yourself reading your blog post, and turn the recording into a podcast episode. User Experience designer Paul Boag does this for each of his blog posts (and he also embeds the recording at the top of the blog post itself, for visitors who would rather listen than read).

But that’s just one idea. You could also …

Turn your post into a slide presentation and offer it as a webinar.Turn it into a video.Create a downloadable PDF version.Take multiple related posts and turn them into an ebook.

You have many options, so use them.

8. Turn Your Post into a Facebook Ad

Did you know that top blogs will actually turn their posts into Facebook ads to drive more traffic to them?

Well, Facebook ads aren’t just for large blogs with huge advertising budgets … you don’t need to spend more than a few bucks per day.

The beauty of Facebook ads is that you can target specific groups of people with them. For instance, you could show your ad to people who like other Facebook pages in your niche. Or you could target people who have an interest in specific topics.

The opportunity that Facebook presents to advertise your blog would be foolish to ignore. The fact is, there are over 1.9 billion monthly users on Facebook. So chances are, your target audience is there! Why not send them to your best content?

9. Dig Deep Into the Data

This activity is one of the most overlooked, but also one of the most important. If you don’t analyze your post’s performance, how will you ever know what’s working and what’s not?

Set up a Google Analytics account to see whether your promotion strategies are working.

Look at the data a week after your post to see how well it did immediately after publication.

Did it get as much traffic to your post as you were expecting?

How much of your existing traffic is from social vs. referrals (people linking to your post) vs. direct channels (your teaser email)?

For example, if you have lots of direct but no social traffic, that could mean that you’re doing a great job with your teaser email, but it underperformed in the social arena.

Then, make sure you check the post’s data periodically to see how it’s doing traffic-wise. (More on that in a second.)

To learn more about how to use Google Analytics, check out this crash course.

10. Remind Yourself to Refresh Regularly

Did you know that “freshness” is an important factor that Google takes into account when deciding whether or not to display your post in the search results?

You should update your best-performing blog posts with new information on a regular basis. Your posts will continue to provide the best content for your readers, and you boost your chances of keeping your rank in the search engines.

The problem is, this is a task that is easily neglected.

So after you click publish, set a reminder for yourself to go check on your post in a year and see whether it warrants refreshment. (I recommend creating a single event for a number of posts, so you don’t drive your future self crazy with weekly reminders.)

Make sure you set the event to repeat every year and set the notification to “email.”

Then, when you get a reminder, first check how your post is performing. If it barely gets traffic, it’s not worth your time to refresh. (Though, if you think the post is worth giving a second chance, you could try targeting a new keyword and/or republishing it under a new headline.)

If it is performing well, see if you can refresh your post by:

Adding new tips, examples or insights you’ve gained since publicationChecking the comments for questions you could address in the postRevising outdated informationChecking whether all the links still workChecking whether the resources or tools you recommend are still the bestRemoving or replacing methods you no longer supportAdding or updating images, screenshots, graphs, etc.

Once you’ve made the improvements to your post, mark it as updated. You can either add (Updated) to the end of your headline, or add a message at the top of your post.

Give Every Post the Best Chance You Can

If you think your work is over as soon as you click “publish,” it’s time to think again.

Because what you do once your post is live is even more important than what you do before. Taking your foot off the gas can mean that all the effort you spent writing your post goes to waste.

So instead of writing post after post, spend some time getting people to read the ones you’ve already written. Try some of the above tasks on your older posts, and keep them in mind for your next ones.

Stop neglecting your posts after you publish them and get them the attention they deserve

And before you know it, you’ll see your traffic soar and you start to make money from blogging.

How To Build A Blog That Makes $10,000 Every Single Month?

This is the only guide you’ll ever need to start a blog in 2021 and make it profitable. It is a detailed guide on starting a new blog so make sure to grab your coffee and let’s get started.

Let’s first talk about the 5 easy-to-follow steps to build a successful blog and how we started making over $10,000 every month from this blog i.e Bloggers Passion.

Step 1: How To Pick A Profitable Niche [In 5 Minutes]

Thousands of new bloggers constantly ask me this one question “How should I pick a niche for my blog?”.

That’s a valid question to ask as a beginner. Your blog’s success starts with your niche selection.

Unfortunately, most people get this one thing wrong. Either they pick a BROAD topic or WRONG niche. That’s why 99% of the new bloggers quit!

If you don’t want that to happen and are looking for some foolproof ways to pick a money-making niche, here are 3 SOLID tips for you.

Focus On ONE Topic ONLY

When choosing a niche, don’t go for broad niche ideas like “make money online”.

Why? Because there are millions of sites covering the same topic. So even if you create exceptional content, it’s extremely difficult to succeed because of HUGE competition.

Instead, go for narrow niches like “make money with freelancing”.

When creating a new website, you should narrow down to just ONE method, for example, “make money with freelancing”.

You can narrow down even further such as “make money with freelance writing” so there will be even less competition so you can create epic content to get #1 rankings in Google.

That’s how you can build an authority blog in a smaller niche and dominate that niche to make huge profits in the long run.

That being said, here are some of the profitable niche ideas for 2021:

Make Money Online

Finance

Travel or Outdoor

Fitness

Self Help Or Personal Development

Relationships

Lifestyle

Real Estate

Quick Note: You can also check out the list of profitable niche ideas where you can find all the ideas on picking a niche.

Note that the above niche ideas are “broad niches”. You should narrow down those ideas to just ONE topic such as “affiliate marketing tips for small businesses” instead of “affiliate marketing” (OR) “SEO training for copywriters” instead of creating a site around “SEO”.

A great niche has the following 3 things in common:

What you enjoy doing (I enjoy doing “SEO”)

What people will pay for (people spend billions of dollars on “SEO”)

What you’re good at (I’ve been doing “SEO” my whole life)

Are you getting it? That’s why my blog BloggersPassion mostly covers the topic “SEO”.

You should also follow a similar approach. Only when you narrow down to just ONE method or topic, you’ll have high chances to succeed!

Use The “777 Method” For Niche Selection

Pat Flynn from Smart Passive Income introduced the concept of “777 method” for niche selection. It works well for anyone who wants to find a profitable niche idea.

Here’s how the 777 method works.

Grab a piece of paper and brainstorm a list of your 7 passions, 7 problems, and 7 fears

From that list of 21 ideas, pick any 10 ideas that you think are “worthy” and “evergreen”

Then, enter each one of these niche ideas into a keyword research tool like SEMrush or Ubersuggest to find a list of profitable keywords that you can use to start a new blog

Here’s the illustration of Pat Flynn’s 777 method.

See that? So grab a piece of paper and start brainstorming ideas for niche selection. It’s worth your time 🙂

Find A Problem And Build A Site Around It

The best way to build a profitable blog is to identify a problem you would like to solve.

Think about all the problems you are now facing or may be encountering in the future.

You can consider problems just about anything around relationships, making money online, college, career, family, and the list goes on.

Then, make a list of blogs that are already covering those problems (for instance, “how to lose belly fat”).

Now, you find out how these blogs are generating traffic, especially from Google. You can also check out their “popular blog posts” or use tools like SEMrush to find their “traffic-generating keywords”.

Repeat the same process with other blogs as well.

Now, you’ll have plenty of topic ideas or keywords to start a NEW blog around.

The best part? You’re now going to launch a blog that solves a particular problem!

Step 2: Choose A Domain Name And Hosting For Your Blog

The second step in starting a money-making blog is to pick a memorable domain name that’s easy to remember and type.

Your domain name is the first thing most first time visitors see when they visit your blog.

Not only it gives a good first-time impression but it also impacts SEO, sales, conversions and so on.

A good domain name defines your brand so make sure to spend quality time to come up with a domain name that’s shorter, easy to remember and easy to pronounce.

5 Quick Tips To Choose A Domain Name

Picking a memorable domain name is ALWAYS hard.

If you’re struggling to come up with a good domain name, here are 5 quick tips for you.

1. Domain length

Try to pick a domain that is as short as possible. Although you can’t find one-word domains like Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Google etc but if you brainstorm enough, you can find 2-word domains like BloggersPassion, HostingMonks etc which are easier to remember.

2. Always prefer .com for domain

There are so many domain TLDs (Top Level Domain) extensions are out there including .com, .net, .org, .info, .app and so on.

My suggestion for you is to always prefer a .com TLD because that’s what 99% of people use when they are searching for a domain/website online. You can also try looking at the expired domains if you want to grab the best domains with high domain authority.

3. Avoid numbers & hyphens

One mistake most people make while picking a domain is choosing a name that includes either numbers or hyphens. Don’t make that mistake. Avoid the numbers and hyphens if you want your domain name to be memorable.

4. Easy to remember and easy to type

Try to pick a domain name that’s easy to type and easy to remember. Yes, you need to brainstorm a lot of ideas to come up with such as “easy to remember” domains but it’s worth your efforts.

You can also get inspiration from other blogs in your industry. You can also try merging two different words to form a useful domain such as;

Fitness Pal

Hosting Monks

Copy blogger

Social Triggers

Blogging Buddha and the list goes on

5. Use domain generator tools

If you’re still struggling to come up with great domain names, then use domain generator tools.

Here are some of the tools you can use for free.

Domains Bot

Panabee

Name Station

Bust A Name

Instant Domain Search

Name Mesh

All the above domain name generators provide you a ton of domain name ideas upon entering a keyword or topic. Try them!

You can also check out our in-depth post on choosing a memorable domain.

After finalizing your domain name, next step is to choose a good web host.

We HIGHLY recommend you to go for Bluehost. It’s not only an affordable web host but it’s an official recommend web host from WordPress. It’s also used by more than 2 million websites worldwide.

Here’s how you can start a blog with Bluehost and get a free domain name.

2. Select The Hosting Plan Of Your Interest

Click on the WordPress button to install WordPress. Once WordPress installation is done, you can access your WordPress blog dashboard by visiting domainname.com/wp-admin directly.

Look how convenient a WordPress site dashboard is.

Now customize your blog the way you want and start blogging.

Step 3: Give Your Blog A Design That Converts

Now that you have set up a blog, you would want to give your blog a definite look and feel.

Notice how each blog looks and feels different even if they are hosted on the same WordPress? This website design is due to WordPress Themes.

Your website design is what represents your blog’s persona, your brand feel and decides how your visitors convert. This is why you must choose a premium WordPress theme

PRO TIP: If you’re wondering why I am suggesting paid tools to make a blog, I would say these three are the most essential and perhaps the only compulsory investments you need to launch a blog. WordPress comes with free themes and they are so generic that you would better not use them, leave alone the featureless properties.

My Recommendation:

My blog is powered by a custom designed theme which can cost you anywhere between $1000 or so. But, you don’t need to shell out so much money. For starting a new blog, you need a simple yet professional theme. You should go for Elegant Themes which costs $80 for 87 uniquely designed themes.

Other Tips To A Winning Blog Design:

Don’t clutter your blog with ads, at least not before you have a meaningful number of visitors.

Leave a lot of white space.

Elegant Themes above gives you 87 different themes, choose the one that best fits your need.

Invest in a logo. You can get yourself a decent logo for $5 using Fiverr or hire someone (if you have the budget).

Use some social sharing buttons to help your readers spread the word about your posts. The best thing about WordPress is, it has a ton of plugins (like tools) that you can install and get the work done.You can choose a premium social sharing plugin like social warfare or get the work done with free plugins like add this.

Step 4: Create Great Blog Content For Your Readers

Now that you have setup your blog, it will be blank and will have nothing for your readers.

Hence, you need content to showcase to your readers. This content can give an idea about what your visitors can expect from your blog and initial posts on the topic you are going to write. Your first blog entries would be divided into two types:

The basic yet important pages

The content that sells (posts)

Quick Tip: Pages are when you want to have content that is timeless (stays same over the time) and cannot be included in RSS feed. Posts on the other hand are changed over time and are more share-worthy. Pages mostly include informational content like a about us page, privacy policy page etc.

1. The Basic Yet Important Pages:

These are the pages that almost every blog must have. You need to write a compelling about us page (see mine here) which will house your purpose of blog, team members, what the visitors can expect etc.

Other pages that you must add are:

Contact page (example)

Any services page (if you offer) (example)

2. The Content That Sells (Posts):

This part of the writing process is what is going to continue as far as your blogging continues. These are called blog articles or entries. Writing your first blog entry can be difficult if you have never managed a blog before but it doesn’t need to be complicated.

Here is a step by step process for publishing your first blog entry easily.

Few things to keep in mind while creating a content strategy side by side of your new blog launch announcement:

1. Make Sure You Have Enough Articles To Satisfy Your Visitors:

When you get the word about your blog out there, you need to have enough articles that your visitors will stick around for a while. Having not less than 5 articles is considered ideal but you can have anything more than that. The more, the better!

Having enough content on the blog before launching will:

Reduce your bounce rates

Increase your business impression by showcasing your expertise on the subject

Give you enough time to focus on next step, that is, promotion.

2. Create A Pillar Post:

Pillar posts are something that are resourceful guides on the topic. These posts are often the one larger than other posts and should be catered towards problem solving in your niche. Here is a guide to create pillar posts that rank. You should definitely write at least one pillar post prior to your launch so that you can show your authority in your niche.

For example: If you are starting a food blog, you can create a resource on complete guide to food photography or the complete guide to kitchen maintenance.

Now the question arises,

3. How Do You Create Posts That Bring Traffic To Your Website?

In the blogging world, website traffic is the other name of money. The more and targeted your traffic is, the more you earn. So, it is very essential to write content that brings traffic and converts.

You cannot do it manually, and there are a lot of tools in the market that can help you do it faster and better. If you want to come up with content ideas for your newly launching website there is no better place than competitor research.

And the tool to help you find golden keywords that are easier to rank and bank is SEMrush.

I have been using this tool since quite a long time and it has helped me go from writing random posts to writing posts that get traffic and convert into sales.

How To Use SEMrush To Find Content Ideas For Your New Blog?

Use this link to get SEMrush for 30 days absolutely free of cost. You can buy it for sure (check here for discount coupon) but if you are tight in budget using the 30 days free trial is a no brainer.

The next step would be plug in any of your competitor sites on the search bar of the SEMrush dashboard. Taking our example of food blog above, I typed Pinchofyum.com on the place.

SEMrush is quick to give you all the possible keywords that the site might be targeting including the paid (adwords) keywords (remember seeing ads in search results? That is adwords ads).

See the screenshot below to see top 5 keywords and if you click view full report, it gives you complete report and even more keywords.

And if you want even more sites, the competitors of Pinchofyum would be your competitors. So, SEMrush even gives you the competitor list of your entered website so that you can target those sites and see for some low hanging fruits (keywords) to target in your newly launching blog. Check out the same pinchofyum.com example.

This is the exact formula I use to create a content plan for all my new blogs and guess what, they rank faster and generate sales sooner than those sites which do not have a solid content or keyword strategy.

Read the detailed guide to finding keywords for your blog.

Step 5: Set Up SEO And Analytics For Your Blog

Now the next and most important step is to optimize your blog for search engines.

This is crucial because search engines are what will drive organic traffic to your blog.

Here are the steps you need to perform to make your blog search engine optimized.

1. Install WordPress SEO Plugin:

WordPress SEO by Yoast is the most used plugin that will make sure your posts are SEO-optimized, help you in setting up search snippets and also create a sitemap for your blog. All this for free.

PRO TIP: Use this guide to setup Yoast SEO on your blog.

2. Add Google Analytics Code:

Google analytics code is like the soul of your blog. It helps you track your page views, unique visitors at any point of time. Much more than that, it tells you which pages get the most traffic, what keywords bring you traffic and a heck load of data about your visitors like demographics, device used to access your blog and interests etc.

Installing Google Analytics on your blog is a must-do if you want to blog professionally. Here is the video guide to install Analytics on your site.

3. Submit Your Site To Google Search Console:

Google search console is a platform where you can manage your site, the sitelinks that you want to appear, disavow bad backlinks etc. You can submit your sitemap to Google here. Click here to learn more.

Similarly, submit your blog to Bing and Yahoo webmaster tools. These aren’t necessary but why leave even a small piece on the table?

4. Create Official Pages On Social Media Platforms:

This is essential for creating your brand presence and will also give your domain some trust signals. Pinterest asks you to verify your domain ownership which can be done with Yoast easily.

Step 6: Create A Fool-Proof Promotion Plan To Get More Traffic

Once you’ve launched a new blog, written content on it and set your social profiles, the last step would be to get the blog launch announcement wording out there.

Initially, search engines won’t send you any traffic. This is the time you have to focus on marketing and networking to make your blog launch successful.

Here are some ways to get some initial traffic to your new blog:

1. Write Guest Posts:

Guest posts are a very good way to get some initial traffic from targeted audience of other blogs. This can be done by building a relationship with other authority blogs in your niche and pitching them your guest posts.

Most blogs don’t allow backlinks to your new blog but you can suffice it by adding a link to your coming soon page or even homepage on your author bio. Guest blogging can bring you tons of initial visitors and subscribers even before you officially launch your blog.

Jon Morrow used this same principle to get over 13,000 subscribers even before launching his now authority blog SmartBlogger.com. Similarly, Leo Widrich of Buffer managed to get 100,000 visitors to his 9 month old blog just by guest posting.

2. Ask Your Peers And Friends To Share It:

If you are a business organization dealing with launch of your company blog, the best thing you can do is ask your teammates, colleagues and employees to share your blog to your network. You can even do a press release if you wish.

Otherwise, you can use social media platforms and ask your friends, fellow bloggers to get you the initial exposure. If you have the money, using facebook ads is the best option to reach your target audience on autopilot.

3. Broadcast To Your Email Subscribers:

You can use your email list, if any, to broadcast about your new blog launch.

4. Leverage Blogging Communities:

Blogging communities like Blogengage and social media sharing communities like viralcontentbuzz or justretweet are sure to give you the initial traffic flow and social media shares that will boost your blog visibility.

5 Practical Things To Do Immediately After Starting A Blog

So you’ve successfully started your blog on WordPress. Congrats.

But here’s the thing. Your job is not fully done. There are few more essential things you need to do right after launching your blog to make it search engine and user friendly.

Here are the top things you should do immediately after starting your WordPress blog.

1. Connect Your Site With Google Analytics

You can’t build a money making website without tracking your site’s traffic and user behaviour, right?

Google Analytics is a tracking tool which is developed by Google to provide you all the information you need to track your website visits, user behaviour, website bounce rates and so on.

It’s completely free to use and can be easily integrated with your WordPress site through an embed code provided by Google. If you’re not a tech savvy and prefer a much easier way, you can use a plugin like Google Analytics by MonsterInsights.

2. Create A Sitemap

If you launched a new site, you must need a sitemap. With such a sitemap, it’s much easier for the search engine crawlers to see the complete structure of your site and access your site more efficiently.

You can install Google XML Sitemaps plugin and it will take care of everything things where it supports all kinds of WordPress generated pages as well as custom URLs. If you’re using this plugin to create a sitemap, you don’t need to anything additionally such as creating sitemap files.

3. Install These Essential WordPress Plugins

When it comes to WordPress, you’ll find a ton of plugins and here are few of the most essential plugins you must install on your new blog.

Caching plugin: A caching plugin generates static HTML pages of your website and saves it on your server.

That means each time a user tries to access your website, your caching plugin such as WP Rocket or W3 Total Cache serves up the lighter HTML page instead of processing the comparatively heavier WordPress PHP scripts and it dramatically improves your page loading time and overall performance.

There are a wide range of caching plugins available for WordPress but the widely used and recommended are mentioned below.

W3 total cache: It is the most downloaded caching plugin in WordPress directory and it helps you reduce download times by using features like content delivery network (CDN) integration. It also offers up to 80% bandwidth savings via minify and HTTP compression of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and feeds.

WP Rocket: This is a premium WordPress caching plugin which we’re using on this site. You can use options like Lazy Load It can improve actual and perceived loading time as images, iframes, and videos will be loaded only as they see which reduces the number of HTTP requests. We also have written a detailed review of WP Rocket where you’ll discover all the essential details and find out whether it’s worth paying or not.

WP Super Cache: Another popular caching plugin which you can use for free. This plugin generates static html files from your dynamic WordPress blog. This is especially useful when your site is hosted on a low bandwidth hosting environment as this plugin servers better to quickly load static files.

Make sure to also optimize your site for the following things.

GZip compression (GZip compression helps you reduce the size of data to save storage space or increase the data transfer rate and it’s widely used to compress web pages on the server end for decompression in the browser)

CloudFlare compatibility (you can easily use a CDN like CloudFlare and integrate it along with caching plugins for superior performance in your website loading times)

Backup plugin: Backup plugins let you save all of your website’s data automatically so you can restore and retrieve them any time you want.

Here’s a list of few backup plugins you can consider in 2021.

VaultPress (You’ll get automated backups feature where your data is stored in an exclusive offsite digital vault in real time and it’s the same backup plugin we’ve been using at Bloggers Passion for over 3 years now)

BackupBuddy (Another popular backup plugin which gives you access to backup your data and also allows you to restore or move your WordPress site to a new hosting environment or domain easily)

UpdraftPlus (This is the most popular free WordPress backup plugin and it allows you to backup and restore with a single click on a schedule daily, weekly or monthly. It gives you access to complete manual or scheduled backups of all your WordPress files, databases, plugins and themes)

Duplicator

BackWPup

WordPress security plugin: Whether you know it or not, thousands of WordPress sites get hacked every single day. So if you want to secure your site from hacking or cracking (or brute force attacks), you should consider installing the following plugins.

Limit login attempts (it secures your sites from brute force attacks and it limits the login attempts and blocks the IP address of hackers temporarily)

Anti-malware security plugin (it’s an incredible security plugin as it can secure your WordPress sites from all the malware and viruses)

Bulletproof security plugin (protects your .htaccess file by providing a rocking firewall around it and no one can access your root files and it also restricts access to the admin dashboard without your permission)

4. Set Up Social Media Accounts

We recommend you to create social media profiles for your blog as soon as you install WordPress on your hosting.

In fact, professional bloggers first search for social media profiles and only purchase domains if they find unique names. As a rule of thumb, your social media profiles should include your website name.

For example, all the social media profiles such as Facebook, Twitter etc are available for our site Bloggers Passion.

Here are few social media accounts you can create;

Facebook

Twitter

Instagram

Quora (although a Q & A platform but definitely a great channel to promote your content and website)

Also make sure to submit your site on few high authority blog submission sites as they allow you to submit your blog and/or blog posts so you gain more exposure and build some backlinks to your sites.

5. Most Basic Yet Important Changes To Make From WordPress Dashboard

After you install WordPress and logging into dashboard, you’ll see plenty of options ranging from posts to media to comments to settings.

Here are few most important changes you need to make from your WordPress dashboard to make your site search engine and user friendly.

Firstly, give your site a name. You can go to “Settings” and right at the top of the screen, you’ll see two options, one to change your site’s title and another to alter its tagline. It looks something like this;

Simply give your site a title and include a tagline which best describes what your site is all about.

Use the optimized Permalink structure

One of the best ways to optimize your WordPress site is to optimize your permalink structure (also known as URL structure). It helps you easily optimize your primary keywords for search engines and easy to read even for your readers.

To optimize permalink structure from your WordPress dashboard, go to Settings > Permalinks screen, and check out the options within. There are various permalink structures you can choose from, including a custom option. It looks something like this;

From the above Permalink options, “Post name” permalink structure is usually the best option, since it gives search engines like Google and your readers a clear idea of what your page is all about.

Whether you know it or not, Google truncates if it finds a lengthy URL in search results and that’s the reason why going for a shorter Permalink structure like “Post name” works best for most of the WordPress sites.

5 Mistakes To Avoid When Starting A New Blog In 2021

Building a new website is easy but there’ll be a ton of blogging mistakes most beginners make.

While there’s nothing wrong in making mistakes but you’ll be building a profitable blog quickly if you can avoid a few costly and common mistakes.

Here are the top 5 mistakes to avoid when launching a new website in 2021.

1. Don’t Cover Too Many Topics

Seriously, a lot of bloggers cover too many topics. They cover something about fitness. The next day they cover something about technology. If you want to build a money making blog, don’t do that mistake. Focus on very few topics that you master in the long run.

As a rule of thumb, we recommend you to stick to just 2 to 3 topics and create blog posts only around those topics.

2. Don’t Ignore SEO

SEO is the #1 reason why the majority of the blogs and websites get a ton of traffic and sales. If you want to survive in the long run, make sure to give importance to SEO. SEO basically involves keyword research, on page optimization, building backlinks and so on.

Here’s an ultimate guide around SEO where you can get every detail around SEO to improve your search traffic and sales.

3. Your Website Speed Matters A Lot

The more time it takes to load your website pages, the higher your website bounce rates will be. Make sure your site loads within 2 to 3 seconds. The best way to get faster loading times is to use a faster hosting service (we recommend WPX hosting).

Above all, make your site mobile responsive because smartphone internet usage is increasing at a rapid rate.

4. Don’t Steal

One of the most common mistakes beginner bloggers make is trying to steal from others. Don’t copy others content. Don’t steal others images. It doesn’t add any value. In fact, it degrades your online reputation in the long run.

5. Invest Where Its Needed

It takes money to make money online. Always remember that. Here are a few things where you should invest money to make your blog successful in 2021.

Website design (invest in premium WordPress themes)

Get a unique logo

Proper hosting

Email marketing and SEO tools (like Drip, SEMrush and so on)

How To Start A Blog That Generates $10,000 A Month In 2021: 5 Steps

Building a 6 figure income generating blog is not rocket science. You basically need two things;

Building your blog audience

Monetizing your audience

That being said, if you are looking for a detailed layout and blueprint of how to launch a blog that generates $10k or more every single month, here are 5 PROVEN steps for you.

1. Create A Solid Monetization Strategy

First things first. You need a blueprint. You need a monetization strategy. You need to know how to make money from your blog before you even launch it.

Do you already know how are you going to monetize your site? Are you going to use affiliate marketing? Or do you want to sell online courses? By creating a monetization strategy in advance, you can easily follow a framework which helps you actually generate profits from your blog.

That being said, there are multiple income sources you can consider to create a monetization strategy and we’re going to discuss briefly about 3 of them now.

1. Making Money Through Affiliate Products

Majority of the income which is generated by our blog Bloggers Passion comes from selling affiliate products. So our monetization strategy mostly revolves around selling affiliate products.

That’s why we rely heavily on SEO and organic traffic as it converts really better when compared to other traffic channels like social media or referrals. If you’re looking for a passive income source to make money even while you sleep, affiliate marketing works great.

Basically affiliate marketing is all about selling others products for commission where you’ll get paid whenever you make a successful affiliate sales which is generated through your affiliate referral links.

Affiliate marketing is growing rapidly and users clicked more than 5 billion times and the affiliate marketing networks carried out more than 170 million transactions worldwide.

Affiliate marketing spend in the US is estimated to grow by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10 percent between 2015 and 2020, to reach a projected $6.8 billion. eMarketer estimates affiliate marketing represents 7.5 percent of total digital marketing spend among retailers, $15.81 billion.

Here’s the affiliate marketing spending forecast.

If you’re looking to create a monetization strategy using affiliate marketing, you should create contents which educate your audience (and you should also target commercial keywords).

Here are few content types which work well with this model;

Case studies

Affiliate marketing product reviews

Comparison posts

Discounts and promo codes

2. Making Money by Selling Your own Products

There’s also another fantastic monetization strategy you can use apart from affiliate marketing. It is selling your own products.

It can range from anything including;

Selling your own merchandise

Selling your own stuff such as eBooks, plugins, tools

Selling online courses

And the list goes on

The best examples of such blogs which are already using this type of monetization strategy include;

I will teach you to be rich

Videofruit

Social Triggers

The above blogs make millions of dollars by selling online courses. If you want to use this type of monetization strategy then the following type of content performs well.

Create in-depth articles around the products you want to create

Highly educational stuff

Problem solving contents

And so on

3. Making Money From Consulting

You can also offer consulting, private mentorships or 1 on 1 consulting services from your blogs as it’s another great monetization strategy.

The key to make more money from this kind of monetization strategy is that you need to focus on increasing your personal brand. You should establish yourself as an expert or thought leader in your industry.

2. SEO Can Be Your Best Bet

Building a blog that makes $10K a month is not easy. In fact, it takes time.

You can’t make $10K a month right after launching your blog especially if you don’t have any prior experience. The best bet can be an SEO.

SEO simply means, Search Engine Optimization which helps you optimize your site for better organic visibility. It helps you attract the right audience who are eager to buy stuff from you.

When it comes to SEO, here are the 3 things that really matter.

Content

Keywords

Backlinks

Let’s talk briefly about each one of them so you can build a blog that gets more traffic and sales in 2021 and beyond.

Content: Don’t create short articles. Focus on creating long form of articles with at least 2000+ words as they tend to rank well in search engines and also attract more social shares and backlinks.

Keywords: Before you publish any blog post, make sure to do keyword research. Keyword research is all about finding keywords which help you rank well in Google search. Make sure to find low competitive long tail keywords with high CPC (Cost Per Click) to generate better organic traffic.

You can use tools like SEMrush to easily find great keywords no matter what industry you are in. You can use the below link to get a free trial of SEMrush.

Backlinks: Google considers backlinks as “votes”. If you want your content to perform well in Google search, you need to attract highly relevant and quality backlinks.

Here are a few ways to get backlinks to your site.

Guest posting (writing posts for other sites to get links to your site)

Using blogger outreach

Using weekly roundups of other bloggers

Broken link building

3. Diversify Your Traffic And Income Sources

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

You need to diversify your traffic sources.

1.3 million page views in one year which is 2018 and 1 million page views in 2017.

These are our website Bloggers Passion traffic stats. The best part is that, we didn’t spend even a penny on marketing it.

Here are the traffic sources at a glance;

Organic search (83%)

Direct traffic (12%)

Referral traffic (4%)

Social media traffic (1%)

We’re now mostly focusing on other social media channels as well such as creating Facebook groups, writing on Quora, focusing more on email marketing etc as we want to diversify our traffic and income sources.

You should also do the same things if you want to build a profitable blog in the long run.

4. Think Long Term

You can’t start a money making blog overnight. It takes time. We started Bloggers Passion in 2010 (exactly 9 years ago). We’re now earning $10K each month which means, it literally took us 9 years to go from 0 to $10K in revenue.

If you want to build a money making blog, think long term. Don’t expect quick results. Find out what strategies work better for you after 1 or 2 or 3 years. Then, work towards such goals from today. That’s how you can succeed.

5. Invest In The Right Tools

You can’t build a money making blog without actually investing money. It takes money to make money online.

If you get that right, you can build a profitable blog really quickly. Although there are a ton of premium tools out there but you should invest money in the following places.

Web hosting (consider a reliable hosting like Bluehost)

Email marketing (you can check out GetResponse or MailChimp)

SEO tools such as SEMrush

If we had to start again from scratch and invest in just one tool, it would be SEMrush.

At Bloggers Passion, we’re using SEMrush for more than 3 years now and the results are outstanding.

Here are some of the things you can do easily with SEMrush.

Keyword research

Site audits

Site positioning

Content creation ideas

Competitive analysis

SEMrush gets regularly updates its databases to give you accurate and fresh data

Did you know that email marketing gives you a whopping 4000% ROI and $40 for every $1 spent?

Paid Keywords Have a Massive Impact on Business

Paid Keywords Have a Massive Impact on Business

If you are aware of SEM (search engine marketing) then you are already halfway there, all you need now is one of the best-paid keyword research tools, and we have it. Paid keywords are the search terms people use in search engines to find the best answers to their related queries. Search engines picked a different method of how they need to look at what people are hunting for. Let’s say there is a keyword “Men’s hat” but your site will also show up for “buy boy’s hat,” it’s one of the few perks you get when you go for paid keyword search.

The terms you never opted for will also be a part of your site. It will not only help your business grow but is useful for search engine optimization. There are a few keywords that cost a lot and their PPC (Pay per Click) rate is quite high, which is why you need to do a little more research before finalizing. It will enable you to find keywords which have less cost per click with low competition. For example, if your site is about selling, then you must go for long tail keywords to elaborate your sites purpose, location, and type.
